Trudeau has been under pressure to cancel both.
The prime minister, leader of the Opposition, the Speakers in both chambers and others with additional duties receive extra, legislated amounts beyond their base salaries. It will likely stay adjourned long beyond the originally scheduled return date of April 20, although another emergency sitting could eventually be required, at which point MPs could also consider a pay freeze.
Denise Siele added that it's up to the government to introduce legislation to freeze parliamentary salaries "should they so choose." Conservatives have also been demanding that Trudeau cancel the planned increase in the federal carbon tax which kicks in today, raising the carbon price on fuel purchases to $30 per tonne from $20. That will mean drivers will pay roughly an extra two cents a litre at the gas pump.
IN GOD WE TRUST 🙏 CANADIANS PAY CASH 🍁
Trump donates his whole wage, just saying. But he also cares for America but I won't get into that. How is Newfoundland doing?
Why give themselves pay hikes to begin with?
I don’t believe Trudeau will donate his pay raise. I want to know which charity he donated to...and I want to see a receipt. JustinTrudeau prove you donated your pay raise to charity or it’s just another lie!
One Lucky Sperm®️ was shamed into it.
Nobody wants their Noblesse Oblige. We need them to assist in solving the inevitable financial train wreck that's going to happen to the most vulnerable people as soon as the eviction moratoriums have passed.
F.U.
Give our grocery workers , health care workers, firefighters, police officers, EMTS, janitorial dietary and laundry workers some as well!
How about some for seniors? And ppl on CPP disability? Veterans too
Your headline is wrong, Scheer shames Trudeau into also donating his raise. DirtyButts and TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice
All of them should.
But they are still getting their hike since it is only donated while this is going on.😔
Us peasants don’t get a pay raise this year because our companies are broke, much like the country you work for, broke! In fact, if this continues on much longer most people will be laid off, hows that for a pay decrease?
Hold on.....AndrewScheer was the first on record to donate, JustinTrudeau followed days later, yet you list the PM as first name in your headline?!?!?
Appalling regardless
Trudeau raised taxes today.
Should donate whole salary a d live on ei while paying their mortgage Bill's etc Then maybe they'll finally get it and press for/ pass mortgage/rent 3 to 6 month holiday for commercial and residential
what about donating 50% of their salaries and managing like most Canadians on EI, 50% of their salaries... now that would be the right gesture. And when did we allow Politicians to become an occupation? should be 1-2 terms and no pension until 65 or 67
good to both of you, all the MP's should do the same.
This is more virtue-signalling at the tax-payer's expense. The Canadian government raising taxes at a time when families and businesses are going broke is unforgivable. We will not forget your treachery.
is there a full list of all donating their pay raise? would be interesting to see
As I understand they cannot refuse it. That's why some are choosing to donate it.
Not a feel good story. AndrewScheer and JustinTrudeau are con men
Only 900k to go!
In a moment of crisis they got a pay hike and then they will donate that portion. What a false generosity!
So they are actually getting a pay hike anyway and then to show the world how good they are, they are going to donate it? That's not being generous, that's being a fucking Canadian. Shouldn't have gotten any pay raise. Period!!!!
Funny news
Nice, considering the rest of the country is living on air waiting for EI to then receive 60% of their pay!!
Giving your raise to charity provides a nice tax benefit. The right thing to do is to retract the pay raise altogether.
How noble of them 🙄
Let's he honest, this money is probably coming straight from the Con donors. Just like thst extra 700k he spent last year.
Hey, infested conservative trolls, READ THE ARTICLE, before you say “hope Trudeau does the same”. stupid
PettenRoss That will show you how out of touch government is. In the mist of a pandemic while people are faced with the very worse of times. They take a pay hike.
Why are taking the increase? Disgusting. Donating to charity alters nothing. Taxpayers want the money.
Cheap shot but Sheer doesnt need his pay since he was stealing from the PC party so thanks but not really.
But you get a tax credit and it’s a political move. Also we never wanted you to get that increase
M.P.s and all who are employed by the Public are paid by the Public. These are Public dollars however they are used. Self-approved raises/automatic raises should never be a thing. Public purse requests for raises should require a referendum aka Public’s (our) approval. CDNpoli
So they are actually getting a pay hike? Ironic, in a time when so many are losing there jobs. Tax payers on the hook again. Once a politician, always a politician. JustinTrudeau AndrewScheer
There should have been a pay cut not hike in times like this.
Simply insulting.
It‘s our money; the taxpayers of Canada. And, at a time of unprecedented national/ world health and economic crises politicians are automatically accepting a raise is very, very wrong.
Please donate to charities that helps and assist Autistic children and adults. Thank you! AutismAndCovid19 Covid_19
Let’s see if the lieberals follow suit.
DCTFTW I have yet to see one greedy fucken liberal do the same
Donate their pay. How much? Will it be clawed back from the starving hands of desperate canadians later on?
Transparent Publicity stunt
JustinTrudeau - great decision to sharing your salary increasing amount to charity voluntarily. You are settling an example for others
Why is Trudeau taking a salary? He is loaded with a trust fund. Never worked for anything. Trudeau has more days off than he has worked. Trump refuses his salary. Trump is a great leader.
AndrewScheer go away.
How about getting rid of the raise all together? Others don’t even have a job ffs. Why would they get a raise?
JustinTrudeau you and your team do the same thing!
